Ok. Its not pronounced pee-roo like urine and root. Its pronounced pie-roo. LIke pie and root. In game it says love, that speak for it self but the end is 187 the penal code for murder in california and slang for killer when writen next to. Meaning, Piru Killer. Eh, Im not getting into that part.

I used to use the in-game name "TG5th USARMY|JeonJiHyeon", but I've just switched to using "TG5th FFLaguna" only, now. Anyway, JeonJiHyeon is pronounced 전지현, so try not to mess it up next time (if there is a next time for it).

lol i always hated korean anglicisation(?). some of it doesn't make sense to me. like this for example. shouldn't this be, JunJiHyun, not JeonJiHyeon? both of them sound similar but JeonJiHyeon is more confusing IMO

edit: oh yeah, sorry for taking the fun out of your joke...

Unfortunately, there is no true "standard korean romanization system". Everybody writes whatever the hell they feel like writing. And it's not like japanese where everything can have a one-to-one direct transliteration to english characters, no sirree. They have a vowel that we don't have in english, and most of their consonants change pronunciation between voiced/non-voiced depending on where that consonant falls in the word, or which other word came before the consonant. Or which other word comes after that consonant if it's at the end of a word.

On a happier, less confusing note, the US Army pays me $400 more each month on my paycheck due to my Korean proficiency. You can't argue with that.

How are you a member of a retired IHS?

**FFLaguna** · 08-31-2008, 12:16 PM

They retired. I didn't.

**TMan** · 08-31-2008, 01:18 PM

TMAN is pronounced T MAN. My buddy warlab used to call me that in high school, so I used it here.
